Packages

An email will be sent to your UCD Connect account alerting you of the delivery of a package. You can then collect it from the Merville Mailroom. This mailroom is open 08:00 to 16:00 from Monday to Friday. Proby and Blackrock halls residents will receive an email informing them of a package to collect from the Blackrock Campus Services Desk.

Packages must be collected at the Merville Mailroom and signed for by the recipient with verification of a valid UCard. The Mailroom only contains packages delivered by An Post and does not accept parcels or letters from any other courier.

Sending Mail and Parcels

Students wishing to send mail or a parcel should go to an An Post office which can be located (opens in a new window)here.

If you are sending a letter which has been stamped, you can use the post box located outside the Gerard Manley Hopkins Building. For Blackrock Residents, letters and packages that are already stamped can be sent from the An Post post box located at the mailboxes beside the Blackrock Services Desk.

Couriers

Please do not use the Mailroom as an address for your courier deliveries as they will not be accepted by the Mailroom team.

If you have requested a delivery or ordered items that are to be delivered by a courier, please ensure that you or a designated person is on campus to receive them. The Mailroom will not take responsibility for courier deliveries as they require a signature from the recipient for proof of delivery to the end user.
